Cool New Aprons Perfect for Luxury Gifts This Holiday
The humble kitchen apron has been the subject of renewed attention during the pandemic. It’s something we never noticed too much before but with all the home cooking and baking going on, ours were in need of a serious upgrade.

Cool aprons and kitchen attire perfect for gifts this holiday.
You won’t find any cutesy, 1950s ruffled aprons on this list. We wanted well-designed, hard-working aprons that make our lives easier in the kitchen. That means durable fabrics that stand up to spills and splatters, comfortable designs that enable movement, and thoughtful details like snaps, pockets, and buckles.
OK fine– we couldn’t resist adding a few really pretty ones for hosting and social media photos. After all, who will know that you finally mastered pie crust if there is no proof on Instagram?
